Why A Psilocybin Journey Might Be Right For You
1
95% REPORTED ONE OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES OF THEIR LIVES
In 2006, Roland Griffiths and his team at Johns Hopkins published a seminal paper studying the effects of psilocybin in healthy volunteers. They found substantial and sustained positive effects, and that psilocybin was overwhelmingly safe when administered in a controlled setting. At a 14-month follow-up, 95% of the study participants ranked the experience as among the top five most meaningful experiences of their lives (Griffiths et al. 2008, 2011). This landmark study was key to launching the psychedelic renaissance.

LASTING IMPROVEMENTS TO WELL-BEING
Ross et al. (2016) studied the effects of psilocybin on depression and anxiety in cancer patients, finding that “psilocybin produced immediate, substantial, and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression… improved spiritual well-being, and increased quality of life.” More than six months later, a majority of participants rated the experience as among the most personally meaningful and spiritually significant of their lives, and 87% reported increased life satisfaction or well-being due to the experience.

LARGE AND SUSTAINED DECREASES IN DEPRESSION
In a study of over 100 US adults, Raison et al. (2023) found that a single dose of psilocybin, administered with psychological support, resulted in rapid and sustained reductions in depressive symptoms for people suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The largest study of its kind to date, this phase 2 trial from the Usona Institute demonstrates the great potential of psilocybin-assisted therapy for treating depression.
